(n/k/a SFS, Ltd.) Re: Recommendation of Creditors’ Committee in Favor of Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation Dear General Unsecured Creditor: We are writing to you on behalf of the Official Committee (the “Committee”) of Unsecured Creditors of Adinath Corp. and Simply Fashion Stores, Ltd. (n/k/a SFS, Ltd.) (the “Debtors”). The Committee was appointed by the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of Florida to represent the interests of general unsecured creditors in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. Copies of the Plan Proponents’ Plan of Liquidation Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”)1 and related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) are being distributed to you, along with a ballot with which to cast your vote. The Committee is a proponent of the Plan, supports the Plan and urges you to vote in favor of the Plan by so indicating on the enclosed ballot. The Disclosure Statement contains extensive information with respect to the Plan and we encourage you to carefully review it. The Committee urges you to read the Plan and the Disclosure Statement carefully before you cast a vote(s) to accept or reject the Plan and to consult with an attorney to the extent you deem that necessary. The Debtors filed bankruptcy petitions on April 16, 2015. Since its appointment on April 22, 2015, the Committee has taken an active role in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases since the Petition Date, including in the liquidation of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets and the investigation and prosecution of claims for the benefit of the Debtors’ Estates. The Disclosure Statement includes a full summary of the (i) Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, (ii) projected recoveries for holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and (iii) terms of the Shah Settlement (as defined in the Plan) that provides the basis for creditor recoveries under the Plan. The Committee believes that acceptance of the Plan is in the best interest of the holders of Claims and have concluded that the projected recovery represents an improvement over the recovery, if any, that Class 3 Creditors might expect in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or in chapter 11 absent the Shah Settlement. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that you vote in favor of the Plan by so indicating on the enclosed ballot. 1 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between this letter and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
